The ssveiled Prophecy Attacked.
A PRESBYTERIAN PREACHER RAISES BREEZE IN ST.

A PRESBYTERIAN PREACHER RAISES A BREEZE IN ST.
LOUIS.
A lively commotton was created through the
city OF St. Louis Monday when 1t became known
that d.. j. p. Niccols, the most prominent Presby
terian minister there, had In his sermon Sunday
night denounced the action OF the Yelled Prophet
in illustrating his pageant this year with subjects
from the Old Testament. st. Louis Is proud OF her
yelled Prophet. and his pageant this year has
never been surpassed In briliancy. Therefore
when It became known that DR.: Niccols had at
tackled him St Louis was shocked. The minister
said: "a sacrelgtous blunder." Reaching this
point, DIR. Ntccols, with slight increase In the
volume Of his voice. as II not wishing word to be
lost, said slowly: iTn this shocking prostitution
OF things sacred to amusement there Is failure
to make distinction between sacred and prolane
or common things, and 1t Is calculated 70 foster
the spirit OF trreverence and bring Gods word into
contempt. More especially 70 take those august
persons and incidents In which GOD has revealed
HIS win to men, parade them on the streets. and
then drag them down to ball is an offense to the
religious sentiment OF the age An this Is done IN
the name OF great city for gain. This has been
year OF blunders In this city, but this last great
biunder is well calculated to bring st. Louis into
disrepute with other cities and the ser1ouslyre re-

A Bullet.kIOle Through his Arm.
THE BROOKLYN POLICE MYsTIFIED ABOUT A SHOOTING
CASE.

n
THE BROOKLYN POLICE MYsTIFIED ABOUT SHOOTING
CASE.
The Brooklyn police are trying to discover how
Mr. Geo Crook was shot In the arm last Saturday
night. He is young society man, living on South
oxford street, and is lying at his mothers house
with a bullet-hOle through his arm. According to
his story, he was awakened early sunday morning
by somebody in his room. He rred twice at the
supposed burglar and then the latter fired once at
him hitting him In the arm. But, TO contradict
all this, his clothes are burnt with powder, while
the buliet-marks on the wall show that something
was wrong with young Crook when he fired, as the
bullet-marks are blackened Nothing is missing
from the house. and the revolver bullet taken from
his arm Is the same size and weight as the mis-
sileS In his own weapon, while three balls are
missing from his revolver. Another singular
feature OF the affair Is that the ground outside the
window from which the burglar Is said TO have
Jumped Is not disturbed In the least. A tender
little SNOWFALL bush which grows there had all
fts branches intact. The police are not disposed
TO believe the young mans story, and seem 70
doubt that there was any burglar connected with
the case at all. II, as It may be inferred, young
crook fired all three OF the shots himself, what
was the motive? The police are unable to arrive
Ct any satisfactory explanation.
